Friends,
TETA Exhibits are back and better than ever! We hope
that you have registered and have made plans to join us this year. We are
thrilled to present some awesome Exhibits this year. We are welcoming back
veteran vendors, as well as new vendors! We expect TheatreFest Exhibits to be
bigger and better than ever before!
Exhibitors make up a large part of TheatreFest. The
TheatreFest Exhibits are a great chance for you to visit unique vendors from
all over the country. These vendors represent businesses and colleges that can
benefit you, your program, and your students! The businesses offer products
that can help enhance your theatre program or teaching! Colleges and
Universities present give you or your students an opportunity to talk one on
one with representatives from that college or university! (How awesome!)
Most of our traditional vendors are returning. They are the life of the organization,
offering the latest and greatest in the Theatre industry. Some of the new vendors joining them this
year will be:
Snap! Raise
LuXout Stage
Curtains
Texas
Commission on the Arts
Southern
Oregon University
The Acting
Studio
StageAgent
Broadway Media
Distribution
DRLane Designs
We are excited for the returning and new
vendors. Let’s show them how important
they are by visiting them at their booths!
To increase exposure for the Exhibitors, TETA is planning the following:
This year, our
vendors will once again participate in Passport. Passport is a fun chance for
you to visit vendors in the exhibit area. Simply obtain a signature from the
vendor, and if you obtain all signatures needed, you are in the drawing to win
a prize!!
The TETA Board
of Directors has once again funded “Breakfast with the Exhibitors!” An all
Convention Breakfast for Adult Members.
A chance for adult Teachers and Educators to grab breakfast on Thursday,
Friday and Saturday at 7:30 am, and meet with the Exhibitors! Come down early, we will serve until the food
is gone!
TheatreFest at Moody Gardens will allow the exhibits
to be located in a spacious and beautiful convention hall. Within the hall will
be Exhibits, DesignFest, Techland Café and two dance/combat workshop spaces. DesignFest
will be divided into four sections:
- DesignFest
Competition – Students and educators showcase their technical expertise.
- Technical
Auditions – This year, the Technical Auditions will be mounted in the
Exhibit Hall for ALL TheatreFest participants to enjoy and appreciate!
- State
UIL 2015-16 Theatrical Design Winners – We are inviting those winning
students to showcase their art.
Previously only on display at the State OAP Contest, now will be
available to all at TheatreFest.
- Professional
and Community Theatres – We will be inviting local professional and
community theatres to showcase their designs, as well.
By having all of these great events in one central
location, we encourage you to stop by and support all of our wonderful vendors
and exhibits!
We hope you have a wonderful convention experience
this year and we hope to see you in the Exhibit Hall! Feel free to stop by and
say hi! Should you have any questions regarding exhibits, please contact
Mr. Jay Thomas, jay.thomas@sjcd.edu.
Sincerely,
Jay Thomas and Alicia Green
